Using wordprocessed material to drive a phototypesetter can save a lot of origination cost, or it can become a technical nightmare. Michael Card, a typesetter who has specialized in helping publishers to handle their own origination, gives a logical guide to the technology, methods, problems and pitfalls and provides practical advice for the non-technician who wants to avoid the cost of keyboarding manuscripts twice. Details on methods of text capture, ways of transferring data, problems of compatibility and how to overcome them and check list of dos and don'ts are included in this guide to one of the most critical challenges facing publishers today: how to use the new technology to save costs.
